This weblog was created to act as a platform for the voice of secular pro-democracy activists in and outside Iran who are struggling against the religious dictatorship of the Islamic clerics in Iran.

Beware of Those with a Frozen Intellect

"Some reactionary groups with a frozen intellect have infiltrated the seminaries and are taking over crucial posts in the country and are becoming active in politics"

The above statement is not made by some secular Iranian opposition figure, it is in fact made by Ayatollah Tabasi, himself a figure straight from the dark ages with a caveman mentality. Yet even Ayatollah Tabasi regards the takeover of Iran by the Hojjatieh sect, alarming and a step back.

Despite all this, there are so many individuals posing as intellectuals and so many so-called "progressive" organisations in the West that somehow still want to justify the Islamic Republic as an acceptable and legitimate government. They themselves however, as Ayatollah Tabasi phrases it so well, have a "frozen intellect".

Islamic Republic has enjoyed the support of the Nazis in Germany, the likes of Russian Fascist Zhirnovsky, European union officials, Democrats and Liberals in the US and the Left wing groups like the SWP etc. An amazing mish mash of extremism, ignorance and short-sightedness.

--------------------------------------
Last time I was in Iran, was during the Islamic "cultural revolution". I hated what was taking place in front of my eyes.
Illiterate gangs of thugs attacking students and academics and telling them how a university must be run! Book stalls being attacked, with books torn up and burned.
I knew then that I had to do something to get rid of this scourge of clerics who had seized power in Iran.
My main objective in life is to help establish a secular democracy in Iran.
I believe the best way forward for Iran to be based on four pillars of Democracy, Secularism, Nationalism and Meritocracy.
Most countries that have adopted these principles have been prosperous, why shouldn't our people be one of them?
